Rate Assistance

The Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) offers eligible low-income customers a savings of $18.75 to $25 per year on the local wastewater collection portion of their sewer bill, depending on the type of dwelling.

To qualify for the rebate, your name must appear on the sewer bill, you must meet certain income criteria, and you must live at the address for which the rebate is being requested. Only one rebate per customer.

To apply, call (916) 875-5500 or fill out the application online, print it out, sign it, and mail it to the address listed on the application. Remember to attach a copy of your sewer bill and either proof of your participation in SMUD’s or PG&E’s low income program OR your income verification documents. Blacken out your Social Security and bank account number before mailing. Your personal documents will not be returned to you.

If you qualify for the Sewer Lifeline Rate Assistance Program, you may automatically qualify for Lifeline Assistance with Sacramento County Waste Management & Recycling and the Sacramento County Water Agency. Call (916) 875-5555 for more information.

Below is the maximum income to be eligible by number of persons in your household.

How do I qualify for rate assistance?

Rate assistance is available to homeowners and renters who live
at the address for which they’re requesting assistance. The
applicant’s name MUST appear on the sewer bill. Applicants must
meet the income eligibility requirements. These requirements are
based on the total gross income for all members living in the
home.

Rate assistance is NOT available to landlords for their rental
properties. As well, homeowners can only receive assistance with
the home in which they live.
